Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film adapts the 'Egoistic Poriomania' OVA timeline but twists it into something far more brutal — originally this was meant as a hopeful epilogue, not a trauma spiral.
Steins;Gate's 'Reading Steiner' ability became shorthand in anime fandom for protagonist privilege — Kurisu developing her own version here subverts that entirely.
